A NOT! IK 11 LYNCH INC.
""own in Henderson County the
other day, an alleged NY-rn bootleer '
shot and killed the sheriff of the
County while evading arrest. The
Negro was captured and the usual
result followed.
The Clobc has always stood for law
and order, has no words of commenda
tion for those who violate the laws of
the land. The murderer of the sheriff
committed a most heinous crime, and
t'out any doubt would have been
h IcMualely punished had the law heen
allowed its sway. No sane man bo-
otherwise. Those men who
strung the criminal up and afterwards
' the body, are guilty of murder, i
just as guilty as the Negro who so
wantonly murdered the sheriff. Ten-'
MUMiuus oesi ciuzensiiip, is sorry Illegality, and rollects that this four
affair happened. This makes the ; footed fellow possesses in his degree

v. hat is going to bo done about it?
The Nashville Banner Comments As

The lynching of the Negro murder
er of Sheriff McBride at Lexington
lacked some of the brutal and bar
"baric features that have characteriz

in the last year, but it none the less when man looks thus downward at his

advanced civilization.
1
The state demeans and injures it
self by permitting these frequent ex
hibitions of outlawry and they do no
good toward chocking crime. They
increase and acerbate the feeling of
race antipathy; they create a demor
alized sentiment that defies and lowers
regard for law and brings authority
into contempt. It furthermore en
courages the lawless spirit that exists
in every community and that with
out the restraint are likely to revert
to primitive conditions, and indu'ge
the luve of a "man hunt" and savage
cruelty such as existed in barbaric
times, before law was constituted.
Law and tha authority constituted
by the law must be supreme to com

a proper exercise of executive author! -
ty. They all had previous advertise -
ment. There were at least abundant
indications that mob violence was,im -
minent and there is no record that
the executive authority in the state
made .any sort of effort to prevent its
,,
consummation.
This statement is made with regret
and without any sort of personal or
political ill-feeling, but it is a lamenta
ble fact
The murder of Sheriff McBride was
a dastardly and heinous crime, but
criminals in civilized lands are
amenable to law, to the state and not
to mobs.
Mob violence has increased in Ten
nessee and in the South, and the rea
son is that there has been no punish
ment of mob offenders. It gives op-
ixrtunlty for the naturally lawless to j
vent their blood lust, and has created j
a perverted sentiment that feeds on
repeated occurences or the kind and
eeks to give them the sanction of pub
lic custom.
As the Danner has before taken oc
casion to say, Negroes were first
lynched for offenses against white
women and then for all capital of
fenses, and there have been instances
n some parts of the South where they
were lynched for arson or grand
larceny, and in others where there'
a as only strong suspicion of their
;uilt. Leaving out all question of
wrong and injustice to the Negro,
iny right-thinking, intelligent mind
can see how fearfully damaging and
'.-moralizing such tilings are to uie,ilis own aCcount.

This is the second decade of the twen

rale war with a powerful military
oligarchy to sustain democracy and it
is assuredly incumbent on us to prove
that democracy makes effective gov

LIFE.
Man, in his occasional mood of mag
nanimity, concedes that he is not
all of life, but merely the cream of it.
He looks about him and sees the dog,
whose eyes beam with wordless men-
vhich cannot be dissociated from it
except disastrously. He sees the les-"i-
creatures, and observes that ther
is a significant difference between
veil a worm that is dead and a live
one. The one crawls, and the other
loesn't. The one either grips or is
ripped by an incomprehensible driv
ng power. And the chances are that
About man, in the springtime, sap
rises, trees bud, foliage grows, and

to repeat the thing another year.

The cheering news comes from all
over Tennessee, that the Negro is in
vesting his surplus cash in thrift
stamps, and Liberty Bonds. This is
as it should be. The Negro never was
a slacker, he is always patriotic. He
does his duty towards his country, he
has never wavered that the world
(Tennessee included) will be made
doubly safe for democracy.

ran the Negro down, and that when
he was finally captured he was
"unconscious," or nearly dead, having
been wounded by a certain "former
sheriff," and having turned his own
gun on himself, rather than be taken
and suffer such torture as he knew
awaited him at the hands of the
average "posse."
Not satisfied to allow the wretch
to die, as he was doubtless breathing
his last, the "posse" deliberately
turned their victim over into the
hands of an "orderly" infuriated
crowd of "respectable citizens," who
proceeded to hang him, then drag

mob, was to hang the man on the

irony of the situation in our beloved

our bounds, even one white man,
who is so far lost to respect for the

hang on the llag pole in its stead, tin
